In general, the clothes processing apparatus can be divided into a front-loading type clothes processing apparatus and a top-loading type clothes processing apparatus according to the type in which clothes are put in and processed. It can be classified as a drying device for drying clothes.

Meanwhile, in recent years, the front-loading type washing machine can reduce the overall height as well as increase the washing capacity as compared to the top-loading type washing machine that rotates with the inner tub, which is the washing tub, in an upright state, and almost no problems such as kinking occur. It is not, so the demand for it is on the rise.

On the other hand, in the case of a front-loading washing machine, a tub provided inside the main cabinet constituting the exterior, a drum rotatable inside the tub, and a driving device for rotating the drum are included. , it is possible to remove the contamination of the laundry by the friction of the washing water.

On the other hand, when the washing apparatus and the drying apparatus according to the prior art as described above are installed at the same time, the washing apparatus and the drying apparatus are installed side by side in the horizontal direction on the installation surface. However, when the installation space is narrow, the washing and drying devices are individually installed in separate spaces, and the clothes that have been washed from the washing machine are moved/injected into the drying device to dry the clothes.

On the other hand, recently, a washing machine having an installation surface or an installation part for installing the dryer on the upper surface of the washing machine is commercially available so that the dryer can be stacked on top of the washing machine.

However, as described above, in the case of a laminating washing machine or drying device according to the prior art, if an installation surface for mounting the drying device is formed on the upper surface of the washing device, it is very difficult to fix the drying device in an accurate position. In the absence of a separate fixing device, there is a problem in that it may be separated from the correct installation position depending on the operation of the drying device.

In addition, when a separate installation part is provided for stacking the washing machine and the drying device, the separate installation part is fixed to the existing washing machine, and after the drying device is seated in the washing machine, the washing device and the drying device are dried through the installation part. There is a cumbersome problem to fix the device.

Accordingly, there is a need for an improvement in a laundry treatment apparatus with an improved stacking structure of the washing machine and the dryer so that the stacking and fixing of the washing machine and the dryer can be more convenient when the dryer is stacked on top of the laundry machine. .
